Do you set goals for the week?

by•
Do you set personal or professional goals at the beginning of the week? If so, how does it seem to help you?

Most important task in priority. Things I don't want to do, and that bring low value... last. This helps me stay focused and keep going. Without goals, I do nothing! What about you ?
i also try to prioritize! It helps when our team plans the sprints as a whole as well, so were all on the same page
Clarity on what needs to be executed and how makes it easier to do those things. Else you end up wasting time trying to figure these things on run time.
definitely, i feel like that boils down to communication between team members for me now. How do you manage to gain clarity for tasks?
The context for me has changed over last few months as I moved from my previous co to a startup. But I would say the alignment first needs to exist at a macro level for instance what are the key goals and priorities for your quarter and then you can focus on weekly alignment. Weekly alignment probably can happen over sprint planning.
Definitely agree, having "north star" type macro goals helps maintain perspective on a weekly basis
Not really. I feel under pressure when I set many goals.
Thats an interesting take, do you feel like keeping calm helps you complete the tasks you need to organically?
Especially for this week. To be #1 product of the day today, haha :D
rooting for you! What’s your product?
Thanks man, Carpio 2.0 wrist rest!
nice! Looks super cool :) congrats on the launch!
I set goals for both the week and every day. As a planning tool I like to use Weje. It helps me stay productive :)
i havent tried Weje, ill look into that!
weekly short-term goals are important to keep track of the progress of long-term goals. ⌚
I really feel this
Definitely! Setting goals is the best way to see if you're improving. Its a constant learning process.
I agree! Measuring your goals is key
yes, I always check my planner what is pending and what is next. Set the priorities and do it anyway. It's like more scheduling rather than setting any specific goal.
I like the idea of scheduling! Planning around big events can make a lot of sense
I have weekly KPIs. That is all.
Thats awesome! Are they purely professional or do you have them for your life outside work as well?
Yes! I create goals (personal and professional) that have a longer-term - between 1-6 months. But I review tasks that help me reach those goals on a weekly basis. Being a huge proponent for self-improvement, we built Wonderpath. I would love to hear your thoughts on our approach () :)
awesome, looks really cool! Just registered :)
the advice and growth aspect is really interesting, cant wait to learn more
